In one of the most significant brand integrations to hit the Indian gaming ecosystem, Krafton India has officially partnered with Royal Enfield to bring the country’s motoring heritage into the digital battlegrounds.
Announced on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, this collaboration introduces two legendary motorcycles – the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and the Continental GT 650 as fully rideable vehicles within Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). This move marks a distinct shift for Krafton, moving beyond standard cosmetic skins to integrating vehicles that carry deep cultural weight for Indian players.
The Machines: Classic Thump Meets Digital Tactics
Starting January 19, 2026, players will be able to traverse the maps of Erangel and Miramar on these iconic machines. The integration is part of the BGMI 4.2 Update, which goes live on January 15, 2026.
- The Bullet 350: Known for its signature “thump” and enduring legacy on Indian roads, this bike offers a rugged, classic option for squad rotations.
- The Continental GT 650: The “café racer” variant brings a sportier, more aggressive aesthetic to the game, likely offering a different handling profile suited for high-speed pursuits.
Beyond the virtual implementations, Royal Enfield has bridged the gap to reality by unveiling a custom-built Continental GT 650. Developed in collaboration with a Delhi-based workshop, this physical prototype is “war-ready,” featuring Picatinny rails, armored plating, parachute tie-down points, and balloon tires—a direct nod to the tactical aesthetic of BGMI.
How to get Royal Enfield bike in BGMI
Krafton has structured the release around a dedicated engagement event running from January 19 to February 22, 2026.
- Special SPIN Format: Players can acquire the rideable bikes and permanent “Mythic” (Red Tier) items through a spin mechanic. Exclusive rewards include the Revel 01 Set, a Bullet Line P90 skin, a CrankGuard helmet, and a Roadborn Rucksack.
- Passive Engagement: In a first for the game, a new “login-based mechanic” rewards players simply for being online. Logging in for 60 minutes daily—without the requirement to actively play matches—grants a Royal Enfield Event Crate. Dedicated players can farm up to 34 of these crates over the event duration to maximize their chances of unlocking premium items.
Strategic Localization
This partnership underscores Krafton’s aggressive strategy to “Indianize” BGMI. By aligning with Royal Enfield, a brand synonymous with freedom and exploration in India, the developer is weaving local lifestyle elements directly into the gameplay loop.
Seddharth Merrotra, Head of Business Development at Krafton India, described the move as a foundation for 2026, a year the studio claims will be defined by “culturally meaningful and locally rooted experiences.” For Royal Enfield, it represents a pivot to engage the next generation of riders where they spend their time: on the virtual frontlines.
